AHH this is an awesome week.. can I just tell you? Loved spending time in California with the family.. had a WONDERFUL surprise from my dear friend shea.. who saw that we were in Newport on Easter weekend and on the spur of the moment.. invited us (all 8 of us) to her own families easter dinner and celebration! I think our kids doubled what they already had coming! lol but seriously so gracious and SOO just what we needed!! THANK YOU SHEA!! (and Robert and Debbie!)
People kept asking us what we plans we had for California.. and honestly we had NONE. each day we would wake up and say.. okay what sounds fun today? The kids mainly loved playing in the pool and then we spent a day at the beach. But all in all it was just some serious laid back family bonding time!
Anyhow.. today I wanted to share with you a Behind the Art Video I did for Somerset Studios! Its a She ARt girl.. which if you know.. I haven't really ever done a video about those.. mainly because I also have a workshop that teaches them.. but it's a fun little video and maybe if you are on the fence of whether or not you should take She ARt.. this might give you the extra bit of confidence you need to take it! :)
AND speaking of workshops! I need to announce the winners of the 5 people who won access to my newest workshop.. Your Living Canvas! Totally spaced all of that from last week! AND also we have already started the pre-course facebook group page for those of you who have signed up! Remember that you have access to that right now! :) yeah! PLUS you still have the Payment Option plan to pay in two equal payments.. you can read all about it HERE.
ALSO A HUGE Question I KEEP GETTING asked about this course.. IS THERE ART INSTRUCTION AND PROJECTS INCLUDED IN THIS COURSE?
the asnwer is YES!!!! Of course!!! lol..
each week you will not only be taught a fun new art technique that is not taught in any of my other workshops, BUT we will also take what we have learned from that week's exercise and put it into either an art journal, on canvas or another project. EACH week will have it's own separate art techniques and projects. SO LOTS AND LOTS Of art :)
So the winners for this class ARE..

OMG... I just received my Christy products that I bought from the Lime store. They are AWSOME and truly..... the products are even better in person. This is coming from a person that buys a LOT of craft supply. This is by far my favorite!!!!
